Bio2Biz conference

April 2008 News

This year, more than 5000 delegates are expected to attend Bio2Biz, which takes place alongside INSITE 2008, the International Science, Innovation and Technology Exhibition, at the Sandton Convention Centre from 15–17 September 2008.

“Bio2Biz aims to expose business and industry to international biotechnology trends and developments, while ensuring the country is in line with the international world in terms of the developments in biotechnology. Ultimately it affords both industry and business with the opportunity to work together and utilise this technology to the country’s best advantage,” explains CEO of BioPAD, Dr Joe Moleti.

In South Africa, biotechnology can make an important contribution to the country’s national priorities, particularly in the area of human health (such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB), food security and environmental sustainability.

To promote this, and in line with government’s strategy on biotechnology, Bio2Biz SA was first hosted by the four Biotechnology Regional Innovation Centres (BRICs) in South Africa in 2004.

Since then, Bio2Biz has grown from strength to strength, attracting participation from business leaders and the biotechnology industry.
